With the key in the off position, set the DIP switches to the corresponding radio listed below.
3.5MM SWC CABLE
Use the proper 3.5 to 4 pin SWC cable for the aftermarket radio being used:
OPTION A is used for ALPINE, CLARION, (JVC and KENWOOD units will use the Blue/Yellow wire).
OPTION B is used for ATOTO, BOSS, DUAL, FAHRENHEIT, JENSEN, POWER ACOUSTIK, PIONEER,
SONY, SOUND STREAM and most OFF-BRAND headunits.
NOTE: Cap or insulate the 3.5mm plug or Blue/Yellow wire if not being used.
If the vehicle is equipped with a Bose system, the GM-51 has a built-in Bose adaptor that allows the proper
audio input gain from the aftermarket radio to the Bose amplifier. To use this feature, plug in the male
8-pin connector on the harness to the GRAY female 8-pin connector on the GM-51 module. The module
is also labeled “Bose” and “Non Bose” to avoid confusion. (see picture below)
If the vehicle is NOT equipped with a Bose system, plug in the male 8-pin connector to the BLACK female
8-pin on the GM-51 module.
